Actually I have worked on some stuff dealing with this. Usually you are
dealing with touchscreens with backlights. I made a special handler for
this (power.c). It needs more work. basically it use KEY_POWER and
KEY_SUSPEND. We sort of have a EJECT key (KEY_EJECTCD). It would be nice
if that was named to KEY_EJECT to be more generic.
